Have Fun, Get Fit!

The weather is getting hotter, the beaches are filling up, and the clothes are getting smaller. It must be summer time! As you start shopping for cute new summer dresses, checking out this season’s trendy rompers, and visiting the swimsuit section of your favorite store, you may begin to feel like its time to ramp up your fitness routine. It’s not just about fitting into those tight white jean capris, but feeling great about yourself inside and out!

Revitalizing your workouts can make a huge difference in your overall energy levels. It can increase your endorphin levels and add a surprising extra spring in your step!

Sometimes though, the gym can be a bit intimidating. You walk in, don’t know anyone, don’t know how to use the machines, are afraid of looking silly next to the guy bench pressing 250, etc. We’ve all felt the same emotions, so don’t worry you’re not alone! But the gym is so last season! So many people feel the same way about the gym that bootcamps have been popping up all over the city. Bootcamps take the pressure off and not only help you tone up and drop a few inches, but also are a great opportunity to meet fab people in your area.

One of my fav bootcamps is FIT CHICKS. They’re a women’s only bootcamp that makes working out fun and effective! FIT CHICKS offers a variety of indoor and outdoor fitness boot camp programs for women designed to dramatically change the way you look and feel. Even our very own founder, Janet is a FIT CHICK herself! She loved how the program motivated her to get active!

They run 4 week and 8 week sessions so you can pick the one that suits you best. You’ll meet some great women, learn fab tips to get you feeling your best, and before you know it you’ll be rocking that polka dot bikini, or pair of white jeans.

And just to sweeten the deal a bit, Orangefish has teamed up with FIT CHICKS and have great offer for you!

And just for fun, my new fav healthy eating tip:

If you’re craving chocolate pudding, pop a frozen banana or two in the blender. Add a sprinkle of cocoa powder, and voila! Chocolate dessert! I tried this out for fun and was surprised how deliciously sweet it was and how the texture was so similar to pudding without all the extra additives. As Rachel Ray would say, Yum-Oh!
